House Votes Almost Unanimously For Public Release Of Mueller Report

17/03/2019

The resolution, introduced last week by the heads of six House oversight committees that are investigating Trump, calls on Barr to make public everything in the Muellerreport that is not expressly prohibited by law and to provide the entire document to Congress.

The vote by the Democratic-controlled House put Republican lawmakers on record about support of broad disclosure of a report on an investigation that Trump has called a "witch hunt" led by "thugs".

Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, offered what many viewed as fresh evidence of an imminent conclusion Thursday when he confirmed that one of the special counsel's top prosecutors, Andrew Weissmann, will be departing the special counsel's office "in the near future".

"[Barr] understands the questions and turmoil this has caused", Collins said. Richard Blumenthal of CT that would require Mueller to submit a detailed report to lawmakers and the public at the end of the investigation.

House Democrats have threatened to use subpoena power to force the Justice Department to turn over anything Barr withholds.

Schumer added that he was "deeply disappointed" in Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. Res. 24, legislation urging the public release of Special Counsel Mueller's report and underlying evidence.
